Chests to Warehouses
🕑 Added 2020-11-17 23:34:30 +0000 UTCI've resisted adding new larger containers for a while because there are some standalone mods that already provide these tools to you. The problem is that I find they don't match the style of the rest of the game.
I'm not really sure why, but a little while ago I just felt inspired to make a set of larger containers that are based directly on the game's own containers and other assets.
The examples here are the logistic storage set:
Storage Chest (1x1)
Storage Strongbox (2x2)
Storage Storehouse (4x4)
Storage Warehouse (6x6)
I still need to work on things like destroyed version graphics, recipes, etc.
I'm unsure if these will be part of AAI Industry or a standalone mod. Currently I'm leaning towards them being part of AAI Industry at first, then also released as a standalone mod but without being removed from AAI Industry.
Update:
I released it standalone at first.
Would anyone be interested in a 8x8 version with 800 slots?
Also as the mod has been released I'm making this post public.

I don't mind that idea but it doesn't seem like something that I'd add myself unless it was part of AAI Programmable Vehicles (because the vehicle depot has some similar code).

What do you think of any container that's designed for unloading trains? I think the coolest solution is what they do in satisfactory, where the station swaps an entire train wagon with the one in its internal storage so you waste no UPS fiddling with inserters and it also sounds like an actually reasonable thing to do once you reach a certain tech level.
